BACKGROUND 1. Field

This application relates to an optical imaging system including seven lenses.

2. Description of Related Art

A mobile terminal is commonly provided with a camera for video communications or capturing images. However, it is difficult to achieve high performance in a camera for a mobile terminal due to space limitations inside the mobile terminal.

Accordingly, a demand for an optical imaging system capable of improving the performance of the camera without increasing a size of the camera has increased as a number of mobile terminals provided with a camera has increased.

Throughout the drawings and the detailed description, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The drawings may not be to scale, and the relative size, proportions, and depiction of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application. For example, the sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of features that are known in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein that will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.

Spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower” may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element’s relationship to another element as shown in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will then be “below” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be oriented in other ways (for example, rotated by 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Thicknesses, sizes, and shapes of lenses illustrated in the drawings may have been slightly exaggerated for convenience of explanation. In addition, the shapes of spherical surfaces or aspherical surfaces of the lenses described in the detailed description and illustrated in the drawings are merely examples. That is, the shapes of the spherical surfaces or the aspherical surfaces of the lenses are not limited to the examples described herein.

Numerical values of radii of curvature, thicknesses of lenses, distances between elements including lenses or surfaces, effective aperture radii of lenses, focal lengths, and diameters, thicknesses, and lengths of various elements are expressed in millimeters (mm), and angles are expressed in degrees. Thicknesses of lenses and distances between elements including lenses or surfaces are measured along the optical axis of the optical imaging system.

The term “effective aperture radius” as used in this application refers to a radius of a portion of a surface of a lens or other element (an object-side surface or an image-side surface of a lens or other element) through which light actually passes. The effective aperture radius is equal to a distance measured perpendicular to an optical axis of the surface between the optical axis of the surface and the outermost point on the surface through which light actually passes. Therefore, the effective aperture radius may be equal to a radius of an optical portion of a surface, or may be smaller than the radius of the optical portion of the surface if light does not pass through a peripheral portion of the optical portion of the surface. The object-side surface and the image-side surface of a lens or other element may have different effective aperture radii.

In this application, unless stated otherwise, a reference to the shape of a lens surface means the shape of a paraxial region of the lens surface. A paraxial region of a lens surface is a central portion of the lens surface surrounding the optical axis of the lens surface in which light rays incident to the lens surface make a small angle θ to the optical axis and the approximations sin θ ≈ 8, tan θ ≈ 0, and cos θ ≈ 1 are valid.

For example, a statement that the object-side surface of a lens is convex means that at least a paraxial region of the object-side surface of the lens is convex, and a statement that the image-side surface of the lens is concave means that at least a paraxial region of the image-side surface of the lens is concave. Therefore, even though the object side-surface of the lens may be described as being convex, the entire object-side surface of the lens may not be convex, and a peripheral region of the object-side surface of the lens may be concave. Also, even though the image-side surface of the lens may be described as being concave, the entire image-side surface of the lens may not be concave, and a peripheral region of the image-side surface of the lens may be convex.

An optical imaging system includes a plurality of lenses. For example, the optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens sequentially disposed in numerical order along an optical axis of the optical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system. Thus, the first lens is a lens closest to an object (or a subject) to be imaged by the optical imaging system, while the seventh lens is a lens closest to the imaging plane.

Each lens of the optical imaging system includes an optical portion and a rib. The optical portion of the lens is a portion of the lens that is configured to refract light, and is generally formed in a central portion of the lens. The rib of the lens is an edge portion of the lens that enables the lens to be mounted in a lens barrel and the optical axis of the lens to be aligned with the optical axis of the optical imaging system. The rib of the lens extends radially outward from the optical portion. The optical portions of the lenses are generally not in contact with each other. For example, the first to seventh lenses are mounted in the lens barrel so that they are spaced apart from one another by predetermined distances along the optical axis of the optical imaging system. The ribs of the lenses may be in selective contact with each other. For example, the ribs of the first to fourth lenses, or the first to fifth lenses, or the second to fourth lenses, may be in contact with each other so that the optical axes of these lenses may be easily aligned with the optical axis of the optical imaging system.

Next, a configuration of the optical imaging system will be described.

The optical imaging system includes a plurality of lenses. For example, the optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens sequentially disposed in numerical order along an optical axis of the optical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging system toward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system.

The optical imaging system further includes an image sensor and a filter. The image sensor forms an imaging plane, and converts light refracted by the first to seventh lenses into an electric signal. The filter is disposed between the seventh lens and the imaging plane, and blocks infrared rays in the light refracted by the first to seventh lenses from being incident on the imaging plane.

The optical imaging system further includes a stop and spacers. The stop is disposed in front of the first lens, or at a position of either an object-side surface or an image side-surface of one of the first to seventh lenses, or between two adjacent lenses of the first to seventh lenses, or between the object-side surface and the image-side surface of one of the first to seventh lenses, to adjust the amount of light incident on the imaging plane. Some examples may include two stops, one of which may be disposed in front of the first lens, or at the position of the object-side surface of the first lens, or between the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the first lens. Each of the spacers is disposed at a respective position between two lenses of the first to seventh lenses to maintain a predetermined distance between the two lenses. In addition, the spacers may be made of a light-shielding material to block extraneous light penetrating into the ribs of the lenses. There may be six or seven spacers. For example, a first spacer is disposed between the first lens and the second lens, a second spacer is disposed between the second lens and the third lens, a third spacer is disposed between the third lens and the fourth lens, a fourth spacer is disposed between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, a fifth spacer is disposed between the fifth lens and the sixth lens, and a sixth spacer is disposed between the sixth lens and the seventh lens. In addition, the optical imaging system may further include a seventh spacer disposed between the sixth lens and the sixth spacer.

Next, the lenses of the optical imaging system will be described.

The first lens has a refractive power. For example, the first lens has a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surface of the first lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface of the first lens may be convex. One surface of the first lens may be concave. For example, an image-side surface of the first lens may be concave. The first lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the first lens may be aspherical.

The second lens has a refractive power. For example, the second lens has a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. At least one surface of the second lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface of the second lens may be convex, or both the object-side surface and an image-side surface of the second lens may be convex. One surface of the second lens may be concave. For example, the image-side surface of the second lens may be concave. The second lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the second lens may be aspherical.

The third lens has a refractive power. For example, the third lens has a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surface of the third lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface or an image-side surface of the third lens may be convex. One surface of the third lens may be concave. For example, the object-side surface or the image-side surface of the third lens may be concave. The third lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the third lens may be aspherical.

The fourth lens has a refractive power. For example, the fourth lens has a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. At least one surface of the fourth lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface or an image-side surface of the fourth lens may be convex, or both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fourth lens may be convex. One surface of the fourth lens may be concave. For example, the object-side surface or the image-side surface of the fourth lens may be concave. The fourth lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the fourth lens may be aspherical.

The fifth lens has a refractive power. For example, the fifth lens has a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surface of the fifth lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface or an image-side surface of the fifth lens may be convex. At least one surface of the fifth lens may be concave. For example, the object-side surface or the image-side surface of the fifth lens may be concave, or both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fifth lens may be concave. The fifth lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the fifth lens may be aspherical.

The sixth lens has a refractive power. For example, the sixth lens has a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. At least one surface of the sixth lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface or an image-side surface of the sixth lens may be convex, or both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens may be convex. At least one surface of the sixth lens may be concave. For example, the object-side surface or the image-side surface of the sixth lens may be concave, or both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens may be concave. At least one surface of the sixth lens may have at least one inflection point. An inflection point is a point where a lens surface changes from convex to concave, or from concave to convex. A number of inflection points is counted from a center of the lens to an outer edge of the optical portion of the lens. For example, at least one inflection point may be formed on either one or both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens. Therefore, at least one surface of the sixth lens may have a paraxial region and a peripheral region having shapes that are different from each other. For example, a paraxial region of the object-side surface of the sixth lens may be concave, but a peripheral region thereof may be convex. The sixth lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the sixth lens may be aspherical.

The seventh lens has a refractive power. For example, the seventh lens has a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surface of the seventh lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface of the seventh lens may be convex. At least one surface of the seventh lens may be concave. For example, an image-side surface of the seventh lens may be concave, or both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the seventh lens may be concave. At least one surface of the seventh lens may have at least one inflection point. For example, at least one inflection point may be formed on either one or both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the seventh lens. Therefore, at least one surface of the seventh lens may have a paraxial region and a peripheral region having shapes that different from each other. For example, a paraxial region of the object-side surface of the seventh lens may be concave, but a peripheral region thereof may be convex. The seventh lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the seventh lens may be aspherical.

The lenses of the optical imaging system may be made of a light material having a high light transmittance. For example, the first to seventh lenses may be made of a plastic material. However, a material of the first to seventh lenses is not limited to the plastic material.

The aspherical surfaces of the first to seventh lenses may be represented by the following Equation 1:

$\begin{matrix} \begin{array}{l} {Z = \frac{cY^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1\text{-}\left( {1\text{+}K} \right)c^{2}Y^{2}}} +} \\ {AY^{4} + BY^{6} + CY^{8} + DY^{10} + EY^{12} + FY^{14} + GY^{16} + HY^{18} + \ldots} \end{array} & \text{­­­(1)} \end{matrix}$

In Equation 1, c is a curvature of a lens surface and is equal to an inverse of a radius of curvature of the lens surface at an optical axis of the lens surface, K is a conic constant, Y is a distance from a certain point on an aspherical surface of the lens to an optical axis of the lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, A to H are aspherical constants, and Z (or sag) is a distance between the certain point on the aspherical surface of the lens at the distance Y to the optical axis and a tangential plane perpendicular to the optical axis meeting the apex of the aspherical surface of the lens. Some of the examples disclosed in this application include an aspherical constant J. An additional term of JY²⁰ may be added to the right side of Equation 1 to reflect the effect of the aspherical constant J.

The optical imaging system may satisfy one or more of the following Conditional Expressions 1 to 5:

$\begin{matrix} {0.1 < {\text{L1w}/\text{L7w}} < 0.4} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 1)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.5 < {\text{S6d}/\text{f}} < 1.4} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 2)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.4 < {\text{L1TR}/\text{L7TR}} < 0.8} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 3)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.5 < {\text{L1234TRavg}/\text{L7TR}} < 0.9} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 4)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.5 < {\text{L12345TRavg}/\text{L7TR}} < 0.9} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 5)} \end{matrix}$

In the above Conditional Expressions, L1w is a weight of the first lens, and L7w is a weight of the seventh lens.

S6d is an inner diameter of the sixth spacer, and f is an overall focal length of the optical imaging system.

L1TR is an overall outer diameter of the first lens, and L7TR is an overall outer diameter of the seventh lens. The overall outer diameter of a lens is a diameter of the lens including both the optical portion of the lens and the rib of the lens.

L1234TRavg is an average value of overall outer diameters of the first to fourth lenses, and L12345TRavg is an average value of overall outer diameters of the first to fifth lenses.

Conditional Expressions 1 and 3 specify ranges of a weight ratio and an overall outer diameter ratio between the first lens and the seventh lens to facilitate a self-alignment between the lenses and an alignment by the lens barrel.

Conditional Expression 2 specifies a range of a ratio of the inner diameter of the sixth spacer to the overall focal length of the optical imaging system to minimize a flare phenomenon.

Conditional Expressions 4 and 5 specify overall outer diameter ratios between the lenses to facilitate aberration correction.

The optical imaging system may also satisfy one or more of the following Conditional Expressions 6 to 10:

$\begin{matrix} {0.1 < {\text{L1w}/\text{L7w}} < 0.3} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 6)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.5 < {\text{S6d}/\text{f}} < 1.2} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 7)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.4 < {\text{L1TR}/\text{L7TR}} < 0.7} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 8)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.5 < {\text{L1234TRavg}/\text{L7TR}} < 0.75} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 9)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.5 < {\text{L12345TRavg}/\text{L7TR}} < 0.76} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 10)} \end{matrix}$

Conditional Expressions 6 to 10 are the same as Conditional Expressions 1 to 5, except that Conditional Expressions 6 to 10 specify narrower ranges.

The optical imaging system may also satisfy one or more of the following Conditional Expressions 11 to 31:

$\begin{matrix} {0.01 < {\text{R1}/\text{R4}} < 1.3} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 11)} \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} {0.1 < {\text{R1}/\text{R5}} < 0.7} & \text{­­­(Conditional Expression 12)} \end{matrix}$

TD1 is a thickness along the optical axis of the first lens, and D67 is a distance along the optical axis from the object-side surface of the sixth lens to the image-side surface of the seventh lens.

SD12 is a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the first lens to an object-side surface of the second lens, SD34 is a distance along the optical axis from the image-side surface of the third lens to an object-side surface of the fourth lens, SD56 is a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the fifth lens to the object-side surface of the sixth lens, and SD67 is a distance along the optical axis from an image-side surface of the sixth lens to an object-side surface of the seventh lens.

IMG HT is one-half of a diagonal length of the imaging plane of the image sensor.

ZSD is a sum of air gaps along the optical axis between the lenses, and LTD is a sum of thicknesses along the optical axis of the lenses. An air gap is a distance along the optical axis between adjacent lenses.

min(f1 :f3) is a minimum value of absolute values of the focal lengths of the first to third lenses, and max(f4:f7) is a maximum value of absolute values of the focal lengths of the fourth to seventh lenses.

SL is a distance along the optical axis from the stop to the imaging plane of the image sensor.

f12 is a composite focal length of the first and second lenses, f123 is a composite focal length of the first to third lenses, and f1234 is a composite focal length of the first to fourth lenses.

Conditional Expression 11 specifies a design range of the second lens for minimizing aberration caused by the first lens. For example, it is difficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal spherical aberration for the second lens having a radius of curvature that exceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 11, and it is difficult to expect a sufficient correction of astigmatic field curves for the second lens having a radius of curvature that is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 11.

Conditional Expressions 12 and 13 specify a design range of the third lens for minimizing aberration caused by the first lens. For example, it is difficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal spherical aberration for the third lens having a radius of curvature that exceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 12 or 13, and it is difficult to expect a sufficient correction of astigmatic field curves for the third lens having a radius of curvature that is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 12 or 13.

Conditional Expression 14 specifies a design range of the sixth lens for minimizing aberration caused by the first lens. For example, it is difficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal spherical aberration for the sixth lens having a radius of curvature that exceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 14, and the sixth lens having a radius of curvature that is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 14 is apt to cause a flare phenomenon.

Conditional Expression 15 specifies a design range of the seventh lens for minimizing the aberration caused by the first lens. For example, it is difficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal spherical aberration for the seventh lens having a radius of curvature that exceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 15, and the seventh lens having a radius of curvature that is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 15 is apt to cause an imaging plane curvature.

Conditional Expression 16 specifies a ratio of a sum of radii of curvature of the sixth lens and the seventh lens to twice a radius of curvature of the first lens for correcting the longitudinal spherical aberration and achieving excellent optical performance.

Conditional Expression 17 specifies a ratio of the optical imaging system mountable in a compact terminal. For example, an optical imaging system having a ratio that exceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 17 may cause a problem that the total length of the optical imaging system becomes long, and an optical imaging system having a ratio that is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 17 may cause a problem that a lateral cross-section of the optical imaging system becomes large.

Conditional Expressions 18 and 19 specify a refractive power ratio of the first to seventh lenses for facilitating mass production of the optical imaging system. For example, an optical imaging system having a refractive power ratio that exceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 18 or 19 or is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 18 or 19 is difficult to commercialize because the refractive power of one or more of the first to seventh lenses is too great.

Conditional Expression 20 specifies a thickness range of the first lens for implementing a compact optical imaging system. For example, the first lens having a thickness that exceeds the upper value of Conditional Expression 20 or is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 20 is too thick or too thin to be manufactured.

Conditional Expression 22 specifies a design condition of the first to fourth lenses for improving chromatic aberration. For example, a case in which a distance between the first lens and the second lens is shorter than a distance between the third lens and the fourth lens is advantageous for improving the chromatic aberration.

Conditional Expressions 25 to 28 specify design conditions for implementing a compact optical imaging system. For example, lenses that deviate from the numerical range of Conditional Expression 26 or 28 are difficult to form by injection molding and process.

Conditional Expressions 29 to 31 specify design conditions of the optical imaging system in consideration of a position of the stop. For example, an optical imaging system that does not satisfy one or more of Conditional Expressions 29 to 31 may have a longer overall length due to the refractive power of the lenses disposed behind the stop.

Next, various examples of the optical imaging system will be described.

The first lens 1011 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The second lens 2011 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The third lens 3011 has a negative refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The fourth lens 4011 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The fifth lens 5011 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The sixth lens 6011 has a negative refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. In addition, at least one inflection point is formed on either one or both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens 6011. The seventh lens 7011 has a negative refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. In addition, two inflection points are formed on the object-side surface of the seventh lens 7011, and one inflection point is formed on the image-side surface of the seventh lens 7011.

The optical imaging system 11 further includes a stop, a filter 8011, and an image sensor 9011. The stop is disposed between the second lens 2011 and the third lens 3011 to adjust an amount of light incident on the image sensor 9011. The filter 8011 is disposed between the seventh lens 7011 and the image sensor 9011 to block infrared rays. The image sensor 9011 forms an imaging plane on which an image of a subject is formed. Although not illustrated in FIG. 21 , the stop is disposed at a distance of 1.205 mm from the object-side surface of the first lens 1011 toward the imaging plane of the optical imaging system 11. This distance is equal to TTL-SL and can be calculated from the values of TTL and SL for Example 11 listed in Table 59 that appears later in this application.

An optical imaging system 28 includes a first lens 1028, a second lens 2028, a third lens 3028, a fourth lens 4028, a fifth lens 5028, a sixth lens 6028, and a seventh lens 7028.

The first lens 1028 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The second lens 2028 has a negative refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The third lens 3028 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is concave and an image-side surface thereof is convex. The fourth lens 4028 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The fifth lens 5028 has a negative refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. The sixth lens 6028 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. In addition, at least one inflection point is formed on either one or both of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens 6028. The seventh lens 7028 has a positive refractive power, and an object-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave. In addition, two inflection points are formed on the object-side surface of the seventh lens 7028, and one inflection point is formed on the image-side surface of the seventh lens 7028.

The optical imaging system 28 further includes a stop, a filter 8028, and an image sensor 9028. The stop is disposed between the second lens 2028 and the third lens 3028 to adjust an amount of light incident on the image sensor 9028. The filter 8028 is disposed between the seventh lens 7028 and the image sensor 9028 to block infrared rays. The image sensor 9028 forms an imaging plane on which an image of a subject is formed. Although not illustrated in FIG. 55 , the stop is disposed at a distance of 0.866 mm from the object-side surface of the first lens 1028 toward the imaging plane of the optical imaging system 28. This distance is equal to TTL-SL and can be calculated from the values of TTL and SL for Example 28 listed in Table 59 that appears later in this application.

FIGS. 59 and 60 are cross-sectional views illustrating examples of an optical imaging system and a lens barrel coupled to each other.

The examples of an optical imaging system 100 described in this application may include a self-alignment structure as illustrated in FIGS. 59 and 60 .

In one example illustrated in FIG. 59 , the optical imaging system 100 includes a self-alignment structure in which optical axes of four consecutive lenses 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 are aligned with an optical axis of the optical imaging system 100 by coupling the four lenses 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 to one another.

The first lens 1000 disposed closest to object side of the optical imaging system 100 is disposed in contact with an inner surface of a lens barrel 200 to align the optical axis of the first lens 1000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, the second lens 2000 is coupled to the first lens 1000 to align the optical axis of the second lens 2000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, the third lens 3000 is coupled to the second lens 2000 to align the optical axis of the third lens 3000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, and the fourth lens 4000 is coupled to the third lens 3000 to align the optical axis of the fourth lens 4000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100. The second lens 2000 to the fourth lens 4000 may not be disposed in contact with the inner surface of the lens barrel 200.

Although FIG. 59 illustrates that the first lens 1000 to the fourth lens 4000 are coupled to one another, the four consecutive lenses that are coupled to one another may be changed to the second lens 2000 to a fifth lens 5000, the third lens 3000 to a sixth lens 6000, or the fourth lens 4000 to a seventh lens 7000.

In another example illustrated in FIG. 60 , the optical imaging system 100 includes a self-alignment structure in which optical axes of five consecutive lenses 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 are aligned with an optical axis of the optical imaging system 100 by coupling the five lenses 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 to one another.

The first lens 1000 disposed closest to an object side of the optical imaging system 100 is disposed in contact with an inner surface of the lens barrel 200 to align an optical axis of the first lens 1000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, the second lens 2000 is coupled to the first lens 1000 to align the optical axis of the second lens 2000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, the third lens 3000 is coupled to the second lens 2000 to align the optical axis of the third lens 3000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, the fourth lens 4000 is coupled to the third lens 3000 to align the optical axis of the fourth lens 4000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, and the fifth lens 5000 is coupled to the fourth lens 4000 to align the optical axis of the fifth lens 5000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100. The second lens 2000 to the fifth lens 5000 may not be disposed in contact with the inner surface of the lens barrel 200.

Although FIG. 60 illustrates that the first lens 1000 to the fifth lens 5000 are coupled to one another, the five consecutive lenses that are coupled to one another may be changed to the second lens 2000 to a sixth lens 6000, or the third lens 3000 to a seventh lens 7000.

FIG. 61 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a seventh lens.

FIG. 61 illustrates the overall outer diameter (L7TR) of the seventh lens, the thickness (L7rt) of the flat portion of the rib of the seventh lens, the thickness (L7edgeT) of the edge of the seventh lens, the thickness (Yc71 P1) of the seventh lens at the first inflection point on the object-side surface of the seventh lens, the thickness (Yc71 P2) of the seventh lens at the second inflection point on the object-side surface of the seventh lens, and the thickness (Yc72P1) of the seventh lens at the first inflection point on the image-side surface of the seventh lens. Although not illustrated in FIG. 61 , the seventh lens may also have a second inflection point on the image-side surface of the seventh lens, and a thickness of the seventh lens at this inflection point is Yc72P2 as listed in Table 62.

FIG. 62 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a shape of a rib of a lens.

The examples of the optical imaging system 100 described in this application may include a structure for preventing a flare phenomenon and reflection.

For example, the ribs of the first to seventh lenses 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 of the optical imaging system may be partially surface-treated to make the surface of the rib rough as shown in FIG. 62 . Methods of surface treatment may include chemical etching, physical grinding, or any other surface treatment method capable of increasing a roughness of a surface.

A surface-treated area EA may be formed in an entire area from an edge of the optical portion of the lens through which light actually passes to an outer end of the rib. However, as illustrated in FIG. 62 , non-treated areas NEA including step portions E11, E21, and E22 may not be surface-treated, or may be surface-treated to have a roughness less than a roughness of the surface-treated area EA. The step portions E11, E21, and E22 are portions where the thickness of the rib abruptly changes. A width G1 of a first non-treated area NEA formed on an object-side surface of the lens and including a first step portion E11 may be different from a width G2 of a second non-treated area NEA formed on an image-side surface of the lens and including a second step portion E21 and a third step portion E22. In the example illustrated in FIG. 62 , G1 is greater than G2.

The width G1 of the first non-treated area NEA includes the first step portion E11, the second step portion E21, and the third step portion E22 when viewed in an optical axis direction, and the width G2 of the second non-treated area NEA includes the second step portion E21 and the third step portion E22 but not the first step portion E11 when viewed in the optical axis direction. A distance G4 from the outer end of the rib to the second step portion E21 is smaller than a distance G3 from the outer end of the rib to the first step portion E11. Also, a distance G5 from the outer end of the rib to the third step portion E22 is smaller than the distance G3 from the outer end of the rib to the first step portion E11.

The positions at which the non-treated areas NEA and the step portions E11, E21, and E22 are formed as described above and shown in FIG. 62 may be advantageous for measuring a concentricity of the lens.

The examples described above enable the optical imaging system to be miniaturized and aberrations to be easily corrected.
